Hi Ian

Welcome to CL.

Don't know what make the wheels are, but IMHO they certainly work well at spoiling the look of a great looking SC.

Basically, I think they are horrible and they look like they have 'spinners'. Sorry if you like them, but we are all different.

Best regards

Steve

You guys are awful, but not as awful as those rims.

Regrets to Ian. Although this wasn't much of a welcome to a usually friendly and supportive forum.

lol.

Steve your brutal honesty is strangely inspiring. Ian, welcome. I think the wheels are called

Gianna Wheels Momentum in chrome.

I too am still a newbie here, really impressed with the knowlege base and now with myself for actually knowing the answer to something on here.

Why do all those flashy chrome rims have Italian names?

Sorry Ian, I didn't realise I would start an avalanche of negative comments.

As said by scyul and VVTiBob we are normally very helpful (especially VVTiBob, who knows everything you could ever want to know about an SC) and supportive, but sorry, I still don't like them.

Best regards

Steve

Believe me boys, I don't know as much as you think. I'm always willing to learn more, and help where and when I can. Our cars are complex machines and sometimes require other complex machines to get the correct diagnosis. With that said, there's one thing I do know, I've learned a lot from all of you who contribute to this forum!

You're too modest!
